Pall MicroFunnel Plus Filter Funnel w/ Metricel Black Membrane, 0.45um, 100mL, 47mm, Gridded - 50/Pk - 4808
Pall Corporation engineers proprietary membrane media for the membrane filter technique, purpose-built for microbial recovery and analytical clarification at the laboratory bench. A filter funnel draws an entire liquid sample through a seated membrane disc, gathering everything the membrane retains onto one surface for analysis. The hydrophilic PES surface draws aqueous samples through readily while sustaining fast throughput on large aqueous volumes and holds adsorption low to protect captured cells and analytes. Reproducible recovery of the retained organisms and particulates follows, ready for colony counting, gravimetric weighing, or instrumental analysis.
Key Characteristics
- Hydrophilic surface wets aqueous samples without pre-wetting
- Uniform rated pore gives consistent surface retention across the membrane
- High-flux polyethersulfone speeds filtration of large water and beverage samples
- Low extractables keep the filtrate clean for downstream analysis
- Low protein binding preserves captured organisms and analytes for recovery
Dependable contamination monitoring protects the water and beverage lots you clear for release. A reproducible membrane seat and a leak-free sample path keep your enumeration results defensible under the standardized membrane filter methods you report against.
